After in the year 2011 first reports concerning a new scanner for medium layouts from Plustek came up, in the year 2012 the Plustek OpticFilm 120 was presented at the tradeshow photokina for the first time. The official market launch, however, was delayed over and over. Starting at January 2013 a number of single devices showed up on the market, as well as in the adhering to months time and again some particular gadgets were offered. So it is hard for us to state an official day for the commercial launch; allow's claim about spring 2013.

Plustek OpticFilm 120 Drivers - When reviewing the technological data of the Plustek one quickly notifications that they seem appealing. With an equipment resolution of physical 5300 dpi and inserted 10600 dpi, a dynamic density of 4.01 and also a maximum scannable movie size of 60x120 mm right here seems a medium format scanner has actually come onto the marketplace for an affordable rate, for which several tool layout professional photographers, that never ever had the pleasure of having a Nikon Super Coolscan 9000ED, have actually awaited a long time.

Exactly how the Plustek OpticFilm 120 shows in practice and also which efficiency it produces, our adhering to examination report will reveal. Of course we will certainly enter into the competitor design Reflecta MF5000 againd and also again, which came into the marketplace currently in September 2011. Also we will check out, if the Plustek OpticFilm 120 could stay on par with the leader in the tool style area Nikon Super Coolscan 9000ED, as well as if the Nikon 9000 can moreover maintain its leading placement in the film scanner area with its exceptional performance data.

The Plustek 120 is supplied in a box with bring deal with as it is usual for Plustek. This box has everything you require in order to start scanning straight. The scanner itself has a steel situation which is extremely robust as well as makes it appear elegant. The front of the scanner is made from black high gloss plastic, on which after switch-on the Plustek logo shines blue. By this it is done without a separate standing LED. In addition there is a switch for changing the scanner on and off, which shines red inning accordance with the operation setting. As well as there is a switch for ejecting the movie owner at the high gloss front of the scanner, which has the measurements 210 x 374 x 189 mm and weights just 5,7 kg. We could say that it is a light scanner, since compared to the Nikon 900, which weights concerning 9 kg as well as is a lot bigger, the Plustek OpticFilm 120 seems to be a lightweight.

When we look at the behind of the scanner it promptly becomes clear, why the Plustek is so little and also light: On the rear end there is a security cover, which secures the film holder slot, the USB 2.0 port as well as the power supply port. In order to set up the scanner, this defense has to be flapped down. The slot for the movie owners at the front is secured by an opening flap. This protects against dust getting into the device, while it stalls on the desk. For us it is a mystery just what the flap at the backside is good for, since the scanner interior is secured by the flap of the film holer port as well as the USB port as well as the power supply port do not need an additional security. The only sense, which we can see at the added flap at the scanner behind, is that you havae to reserve concerning 10cm behind the scanner, which corresponds to the size of that flap, because the movie owner is moved outwards at the backside of the scanner while scanning. Aside from that this flap is just a disturbing, irritating part, which lies uselessly externally of the desk.

In the range of delivery there are 7 film holders included: two movie owners for 35mm movies and also 5 for tool layout (120/220mm) films. At the very first look one ends up being perplex, since various other medium style scanners can do with 3 film holders. If the many movie holders have a benefit in practice or just make the scanner unnecessarily expensive, we will certainly analyze later in this evaluation.
